Opmerking: This issue makes it more difficult to understand and maintain the software, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities.

Detectiemethoden

Automated Static Analysis

Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
Effectiviteit : High

Notities kwetsbaarheidsmapping

Rechtvaardiging : This entry is primarily a quality issue with no direct security implications.
Opmerking : Look for weaknesses that are focused specifically on insecure behaviors that have more direct security implications.

Notities

While the interpretation of "large number of children" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 10 child classes. [REF-1133]
